Families in Netanya experiencing poverty, all of whom are referred to us by municipal social workers.

Filling a critical welfare gap
Our clients look to local municipal social services for help but are frequently met with rejection because of inadequate budgets or ineligibility. Furthermore, welfare organisations outside the government or local authority are few in number and can be restrictive and bureaucratic.
